Breaking The Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed!

 One of my personal favorite shows to watch growing up as a kid were some television specials that aired during the late 1990s on Fox and it was called Breaking The Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed!

God I loved this show so much as a kid! I still do quite enjoy watching these shows on Youtube to this very day.

When they first started airing these specials by in 97, I was totally hooked on it from the start. First, I loved the vibe the show was giving, it was gothic, dark, mysterious, especially with the leading man of the show itself, the Masked Magician. Still to this day, the look of the Masked Magician was incredible!

The tricks that they showed were amazing and getting to know how each trick was done was incredible to witness. I must say that I was very impressed with how the Magician and his assistants pulled these tricks, some of which were incredibly dangerous and should be tried at home.

What was crazy about all of this was when the first special ended, it became such a media storm where many magicians and rightfully so, were outraged.

There were four specials that aired on Fox with the fourth and final special gave away the greatest secret of all, the identity of the Masked Magician himself, which was revealed to be long time magician Val Valentino.

At the end of the special, Valentino explained his reasons for exposing some of these ancient secrets from back in the day and I truly believe that he was being sincere when he talked about wanting to help magic be better. Now on the flip side of things, I totally can understand why many magicians were upset about the show.

There was also a fifth special that aired in the early 2000s with a brand new magician as well as new assistants which was cool to watch as well. There was even one that featured a masked street magician showcasing all the cool magic that you see other street magicians do.

Valentino did however make a return to television in 2008 with a whole 13 episode season on MyNetworkTV Channel and yes, I watched of all that as well lol.

Thanks to this show, it got me into watching magic and also, it really helped my passion and interest in the world of mysticism and so forth. As well as other magic related shows like Criss Angel.

I recommend to anyone to watch this show, it is just as fun watching now as I did when I was seven years old.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe!🙏🙏🙏

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
